Paar first worked in LA as a club creator/DJ/promoter with such legendary artists as The Specials, The Clash, The English Beat, The Go-Go’s, The Psychedelic Furs, The Cure, The Bangles, Echo & The Bunnymen, and Lydia Lunch. Known for developing emergent new music scenes - particularly ska and the Paisley Underground - his club, The ON Klub, in collaboration with Sugarhill Records, was also the first locale to play a rap show in Los Angeles. He subsequently became an independent publicist representing clients including MTV, Ian Hunter & Mick Ronson, N.W.A., Jimmy Cliff, Eric Burdon, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and Michelle Shocked while also booking a TV show that featured emerging figures like Russell Simmons and Run-DMC.

Paar next joined Richard Branson’s V2 Records as Head of Film & TV where he worked closely with artists such as Moby until 1999 when he became an independent music supervisor. He continued to work with Moby whose phenomenally successful album Play, became the first in history to have media placement for all tracks. In 2001, Paar was nominated for a Grammy for the soundtrack for the award-winning documentary Dogtown & Z Boys.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great Noir Music Novel By Lauren P I bought this book for myself, then went back and bought two copies as gifts. I worked at a club on the strip during the 80's, and spent a fair amount of time at many of the local haunts mentioned. Reading the book, brought back a lot of memories. It's a page turning mystery, that introduces us to the world of exploitive label executives, music makers and a cast of interesting characters. I'm giving the other copies to my brother, a musician who played many of the clubs mentioned, and a friend who loves noir novels. I also just discovered that the soundtrack to the novel is available on Spotify. How cool is that! I'm looking forward to the next one. Once Upon a Time in LA
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This book is everything that I want in a novel, it has sex, drugs, rock and roll, and By Paul Stewart This book is everything that I want in a novel, it has sex, drugs, rock and roll, and mystery, depth, wit, intrigue, and the most vivid descriptions that put me deep in the story unable to put it down until I finished it. Any fans of great mystery, noir, rock and roll, hollywood. suspense, thrillers will love this book! The joy derived from imagining LA during the flashback era's was Ecstasy for a lover of Los Angeles and the great literature that has been an ode to it. This book adds to the legacy of great written works that have been based in the city of Angels with a fresh yet so classic feel. This book gripped me, I can't recommend it enough!!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Mystery, Mayhem, Music. By Bruce Duff I really enjoyed this book. I'm a lazy reader in general, but this one hooked me and I spent my spare end-of-nights in succession reading until I finished it. The story is great, based enough on reality to be believable but with enough imagination to take it to some cool, weird places. The characters were well developed--anyone who has been in the music biz will be able to draw a number of parallels, anyone who hasn't will get a good vibe on what its denizens are like. The locations described make you feel very much that you are there in the midst of the action. The casting of the film version should be interesting!
